Alright, cool. Thanks man. Yeah that was basically my concern. Last week when I was printing I noticed some covers were in different DPI's, some were HUGE and some weren't, ETC.
I'm basically looking for a universal size to make the JPG before converting to PDF. So if it's 11.22 x 7, then that's exactly what I need!

The problem with saving to a single PDF is that covers on the site are saved in all manner of wacky ways. For some reason many use exact pixel count as a means of measurement, so many covers are formatted not by inch or mm dimensions, but by the actual pixel count and at 72dpi, which makes printing a headache. So you'll want to make sure that each JPG is formatted the same way BEFORE lumping them into a single PDF.
Then printing from InDesign would really be optimal.

I have a problem with the large files...when I re-size them it seems that I loose resolution. This may be cuz I am a rookie at photoshop...but learning

Hmmm. Alright, I see now exactly what you're saying.
I appreciate all the feedback!
